An uptick in news items regarding the future of NFL rights has occurred in recent days, at a time when the football-following world is more focused on more pressing concerns, like free agency and the draft.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to start creating space for some of the nuggets that have caught my eye, on a last-in first-out basis.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the most recent thing that activated the PFT radar: Paramount Skydance chair & CEO David Ellison said in an appearance on CNBC that he anticipates the relationship between CBS and the NFL will continue \u201cfor the foreseeable future<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current CBS deal runs through 2033. However, the NFL undoubtedly will exercise its prerogative to pull the plug four years early, pushing the expiration date to the 2029 season.<\/p>\n

Via Sports Business Journal, Ellison called the NFL \u201cone of our most important partners, and we plan for them to stay one of our most important partners having just delivered a historic season in partnership with them.\u201d <\/p>\n

As to any ongoing negotiations, including the possibility of the NFL seeking a significant increase in revenue from NFL broadcast rights, Ellison declined comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can tell you is we do plan to continue our relationship and I do believe we have planned accordingly there,\u201d Ellison said.<\/p>\n

The current broadcast partners are CBS, NBC, ESPN\/ABC, Fox, and Prime Video. The league has carved off one- and two-game packages for YouTube and Netflix. YouTube TV has the Sunday Ticket product.<\/p>\n

However the next wave of broadcast deals plays out, the league expects more. Given the value of the recent NBA deals, it\u2019s a more than reasonable expectation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An uptick in news items regarding the future of NFL rights has occurred in recent days, at a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-506759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
